Why We Love This…
“I love Gower as a stag weekend destination as it has world-class beaches, a surfy vibe and amazing activities – coasteering and surf in particular! Top off the adventures with a few cold ones in great country pubs, BBQ with the lads and if you want a proper night ‘out-out’ you have Swansea close by. Perfect combinations for a beachy stag within good reach of south England.”
